Description Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) 2005-04-27 14:34:08 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu 5.04

Steps to reproduce:
1.  Open the "Sessions" control panel.
2.  Look at the second option.

What you see:
    [/] Ask on logout

What's wrong:
*   It doesn't say what it's asking about. (It might ask your favorite color.)

What you should see:
    Choosing "Log Out":
    ( ) Logs out
    (*) Asks whether you want to log out from, shut down, restart, or hibernate
        the computer

Thanks for your bug. The suggestion is not optimal because the logout options
depend of the rights of user, if you use gdm, etc ...

I'm running GNOME 2.13.91 and I suspect this checkbox may have lost it's function. 

I assume it was (at some point) meant to indicate that by clicking Desktop->Logout you would get logged out with or without confirmation. The 2.12 gnome-session logout code seems to agree with that.

It seems to have no effect now that the logout dialog has been moved into gnome-panel. Is this a gnome-panel bug or should we ditch this option from gnome-session?

Checkbox was killed a few hours ago.
